Massive, pure compute power may be required but not sufficient.

I'm talking neural networks ... which is an architecture which can be built using biological building blocks (in our case) or electronic building blocks (in the case of AI).

At one time, skyscrapers were all 5 stories, because that was the most weight the masonry could support. Then steel came along. Buildings went higher. They were still buildings even though they used different building blocks.


Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.
